[plug] SQL Servers

[Damion Hill]

G'day Paul,
I'm running MySQL satisfactorily at work with a web interface (thanks to
PHP) but I must admit that it is not a huge database and the load is not
massive yet.

I have downloaded the Sybase Adaptive Server for Linux but haven't yet
implemented it. It seems to serve the people at Distributed.net rather
well again with PHP as the scripting tool. It is also free for Linux.

I have set Access97 up with the MySQL ODBC drivers and talked with the
database. I'm sure the same can be done with Sybase but haven't looked at
it yet.

Cheers,
Damion.
